Have you ever heard the saying “it takes a village to raise a child”? Well, what if the village was 6 part-time volunteers and the child was a thriving technical community with over 900 members? For the Believe in Serverless (BIS) community, that’s the reality. Getting its start in January, the BIS community had humble beginnings. A slow-rolling Discord server and a once-a-week livestream with a few community members and the community champions. But the community took off real fast, growing the Discord server by hundreds of members over a few months and diving into 3+ live sessions every week. Between day jobs, moderation, event-planning, promo material creation, and social media marketing, the community had quickly run into unsustainable growth. There was no way the 6 of us (Ben Pyle, Danielle Heberling, Andres Moreno, James Eastham, Khawaja Shams, and me) could dedicate the time needed to establish processes and run things consistently.
